India’s Best ODI XI of the 1980s

#4 Mohammad Azharuddin

Mohammed Azharuddin's silky batting looked a class apart with his wristy stroke play

Mohammad Azharuddin was arguably the most promising youngster who showcased all the promises of being a world-class player.

Azhar’s silky batting looked a class apart with his wristy stroke play. Hyderabad's stylish stroke-maker was a master at milking the singles and if required could change gears by scoring quickly with a range of attacking shots.

Azhar was a brilliant all-round fielder and took some sensational catches in the slips and close in position.
